My passions for both the Earth and the energy that fills it, awoke within me a new perspective on the importance of not only creating pieces of art but also for using it to speak from my soul on the things of deeper importance. The art I am creating today speaks of our planet and all that it provides on many levels. Earth is an amazing place that we are lucky to call home. But while the resources on our beautiful planet are abundant, they are not endless. There are so many things in our world to reuse, repurpose, and recycle, and when nature readies itself for the next season, it also provides an abundance of materials to reclaim. All of the waste products and earth treasures used in my art were at the end of their life and chances are they would have been discarded and not thought of again. My art creates an awareness around bringing these things back to life; sometimes in a conventional way, other times very abstractly. Either way, these finds create texture and movement which provide a place for the paint to entangle itself, creating energy and new life.
